Psychological Free Will

Humans possess considerably more psychological free will than they typically recognize. Psychological free will, as discussed here, is distinct from philosophical debates about determinism. Psychological free will refers to the practical, moment-to-moment capacity to observe an internal state and choose not to act on it. First exercising this freedom can feel profoundly disorienting, even like an act of craziness. Most people do not realize this psychological freedom is available to them.
